The concert programme includes Camille Saint-Saens's Piano Concerto No. 5, Bonin's Cancro, Lucijan Marija Skerjanc's Concerto for violin and Max Strmcnik's Introars 23. The event will be dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the third Ars programme of the National Radio of Slovenia.

The RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra will also perform under Milanov's baton on October 3, as well as the following year on March 14 and May 16. Audiences will enjoy pieces by Gustav Mahler, Reinhold Gliere, Ludwig van Beethoven, Dmitri Shostakovich, among others.

Milanov has been the chief-conductor of RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra since 2019. His partnership with the orchestra began back in 2006, when Milanov was the director of the New Symphony Orchestra in Sofia.
